1 Concil. Cts. Rev. 1 (1963)

handle is hein.journals/fmlcr1 and id is 1 raw text is: Los Angeles MEYER ELKIN (Supervising Conciliation Counselor), and STAFF All of us in the Los Angeles Concil- iation Court are excited about this Quarterly and hope that in the not-too-distant future we can all plan and attend the first California Conciliation Courts Conference. Events have moved rapidly here in re- cent months and here are a few sample highlights: ........In July, 1962, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors gave this Court an award plaque for its out- standing service to the community. ........In the December, 1962, Reader's Digest, there appeared an article about the Court, by Paul Friggens, entitled, The Walk-In Court That Rescues Rocky Marriages. ........This Court recently adopted the use of the Port-A-Punch IBM card to carry out an ongoing research program which is built into the daily intake proce- dures. Sociological data from the ap- plication forms will be obtained in every case where a Petition For Con- ciliation has been filed. Our Court is reportedly the first one in the United States making use of such research procedures, which should provide invaluable data for articles about dis- tressed families and counseling approaches to them. We would like to welcome San Diego into the family of California Conciliation Courts. One of our counselors, William Brockley, was appointed to the counselor's position in San Diego beginning January 28, 1963. Our best wishes to San Diego for a successful first year.
